TOKY REED

2nd DEGREE BLACK BELT (EXPERT 2) INSTRUCTOR

Toky Reed, our head instructor and owner of Krav Maga Forge, began her Krav Maga training in 2007 and quickly fell in love with simple, effective techniques, tactics, and warrior mindset. Her passion and desire to share what she learned that drove her to become a certified instructor in 2009. As she continued her training and accumulated progressively higher instructor certifications, she sought more and more knowledge. Over the next several years Toky trained with master instructors from multiple Krav Maga organizations in the United States, Europe, and Israel.

It was during an instructor certification in Israel in 2012, that Toky first met Shachar Izraeli, the head Krav Maga instructor at the Wingate Institute and founder of Krav Maga Academy. Shachar and his authentic Israeli Krav Maga left a deep and lasting impression on Toky and she became determined to bring Authentic Israeli Krav Maga to her students in the United States. In 2014, Toky traveled overseas to take Shachar's grueling 20 day instructor course to become the first certified Krav Maga Academy instructor in the United States. Toky continues to train under Shachar Izraeli, constantly striving to improve her knowledge and skills.

BILL REED

BLACK BELT (EXPERT) INSTRUCTOR

As an adult, Bill reconnected with martial arts when he began training Choi Kwang Do in 1994. He enjoyed the feeling of power from punching and kicking. In 2007, while preparing for his 3rd Degree Black Belt test, Toky made him try a Krav Maga class. Bill was blown away. He immediately began training Krav Maga up to 10 times per week and never went back to Choi Kwang Do.

The more Bill trained Krav Maga, the more he fell in love with it. Bill found that Krav Maga solves a lot of problems that he found missing from his previous martial arts experience, such as training to fight: against chokes; against bear hugs; on the ground; against multiple attackers; against guns, knives, and sticks. Bill immersed himself in Krav Maga, taking all the classes, seminars, and extra training he could get, reading everything he could get his hands on and watching lots of videos, turning into a serious Krav MaGeek.

Bill loves sharing what he learns, especially when he sees a student make a breakthrough or gain new insight and a deeper understanding. This passion for learning and sharing compelled Bill to travel overseas to take the Krav Maga Academy international instructor course where he was trained and certified as a KMA instructor by Shachar Izraeli. Bill continues to train under Toky Reed and Shachar Izraeli, working to improve his Krav Maga knowledge and skill so he can share his love of Krav Maga.
